This time, this time I love you
Last time, last time I hate you
Next time, I need you
Baby please me don't go

Remember when I met you
School dress on
I never could forget you
And baby now you're gone

I'm goin' around, around today
Just tryin' to find the truth
It doesn't really matter anyway
When I'm living without you

This time, this time I love you
Last time, last time I hate you
Next time, I need you
Baby please don't go

I said come on little darlin'
Baby don't you see?
I'd never do you harmin', no
It's just you and me, yeah

I'm on the corner right now
Waitin' for your love
You better make your choice now
Before a push comes to a shove

Yeah, things seem kinda different
It ain't the way it was
Remember what your Mama said
The bond that lies in us

This time, this time I love you
Last time, last time I hate you
Next time, I need you
Baby please don't go

This time, this time I love you
Last time, the last time I hate you
Next time, yeah I need you
Baby please don't go

I'm by the phone, I'm all alone
Just waitin' and a prayin' that maybe you'll call
I gotta know right now, should I stay around, should I stay a while
Should I stand here cryin' or baby should I fly, yeah, yeah

Oh come on darlin', don't you see and don't you know
I gotta have your lovin', baby now now I'll never let ya go
I'm lookin' round and round, tryin' to find that girl of mine
She's so far away and I am cryin' baby

This time, last time, next time
This time, last time, next time
This time, last time
